Chapter 2: Contract for Ninety-Nine Days

  If it weren't for the series of events that happened later, forcing Yan Luo to be at a dead end, she would never have taken the initiative to call that man in black and say that she was willing to accept Suo Ze's support.

  Fortunately, the contract period was only ninety-nine days. The man told her that Su Ze only asked to be her lover for ninety-nine days. During this period, she would make any request to Su Ze and he would satisfy her. In return, Yan Luo had to live in Su's house.

  Today was her first night living here, and before she went to sleep, Su Ze hadn't returned yet. How could Yan Luo have expected that when she woke up in the middle of the night, there would be someone sleeping beside her?

  Yan Luo stared blankly at Suo Ze, earlier the light was too dim, plus Suo Ze had his eyes closed, Yan Luo didn't feel the icy aura on his body, now being stared at by his expressionless face, Yan Luo's teeth were trembling without any backbone.

  "Uh... I... " Yan Luo's incoherent response to Suo Ze's previous question, her mind a complete blank, unable to think of a suitable excuse at this moment, she blurted out a sentence, "I'm thirsty... I want to drink a glass of water."

  Suō zé looked at Yán luò for a moment, that excessively handsome face had no expression at all, making it impossible to discern his emotions.

  Yan Lu swallowed hard, only to feel like her cells were about to split open under Suo Ze's gaze. But it was just for a moment, and then Suo Ze turned away, got out of bed, and left.

  Xie Su saw him off and Yan Luo was somewhat at a loss.

  Is Soze going out because she woke him up? Will he drive her away?

  What if she gets kicked out? She needs a sum of money, badly needed.

  Just as Yan Luo was lost in thought, Suo Ze returned with a cup of water.

  Just now Suo Ze was lying on the bed, and Yan Luo didn't think he was particularly tall. But when he stood up like this, he felt that Suo Ze's presence was overwhelming, his 188cm height absolutely standing out from the crowd.

  What surprised Yan Luo the most was that Suo Ze actually had a pair of amber-colored eyes, which emitted a chillingly cold aura under the light.

  Yan Luo stared at the cup of water in front of her, her eyes wide with shock. She was stunned for a long time before mechanically taking it over. Perhaps she was too surprised, Yan Luo didn't even know how she had drunk the whole cup of water herself. She held the empty cup for half a moment without coming back to her senses.

  Seeing Yan Luo's stunned expression, Suo Ze let out a soft hum from his nose.

  Although he intended to pursue her for ninety-nine days and then get married, even as a couple, they should maintain some courtesy. He poured her a glass of water, but she didn't even say thank you.

  It is necessary for a husband to pamper his wife, but pampering does not equal spoiling.

  Until the one with a metallic cold voice hummed, Yan Luo barely came back to her senses. Seeing Suo Ze staring at her with a serious expression, seemingly angry.

  Yan Luo tensed up, and the more it was at this time, the more she didn't know what to say to ease the atmosphere. After a long while, she managed to squeeze out a sentence, "Thank you... for your water."

  Suō zé de liǎn sè zhè cái huǎn le huǎn, zuò wéi yī gè hǎo zhàng fu, zhǐ yào zì jǐ de 'qī zi' néng zhī cuò néng gǎi, tā hái shì huì dà dù de yuán liàng 'qī zi' de xiǎo quē xiàn.

  Su Ze's face was expressionless, silently reciting a phrase in his heart: although she is not yet his wife, but after ninety-nine days, he will not hold these few days against her.

  Suō zé was very satisfied with his own spoiled behavior, the corner of his mouth rose slightly and then immediately retracted his smile, saying to Yan Luo, "Sleep."

  It is also a husband's responsibility to help his wife develop the habit of going to bed early and getting up early.

  Just then Suo Ze didn't notice that as soon as he finished saying this sentence, Yan Luo's body suddenly stiffened.
